Deadlifting belts...

I never use my 2 prong belt to deadlift bc it painfully digs into my sides. I came across the spudd deadlift belt and thought it may be a good idea. If anyone has used them any idea if they are commotion legal?

Edit: strictly talking about conventional as I don't have this problem sumo.

I rarely use a belt. I have an older Harbinger. I tried using it higher up (like KK) for my deads, but I can't get down into position good enough without out it gutting me.
Maybe on the heaviest squats I might use one.
My BP is so crappy at this point, it matters very little on that one.

Yea I use a belt on my heavier sets of squats as I do feel the extra core support to breath into. I want to have the same for deads.

I have so much I gotta think about to bench half way decent the last think I need is a belt there.

Right now I am thinking just a good new belt...single prong or lever. EliteFTS has a nice sale on.

The deadlift belts sound very awesome for deadlifting but I was reading they aren't allowed in many Feds for some stupid reason.

I have tried it in a few different positions, but to get it tight enough to make a difference and give me a boost in my pulling, it feels like I am going to herniate my guts and lungs out my nostrils. I may get a slimmer one one of these days but, honestly, I have done without one for a good bit now and my midsection seems to have a built in one now..! Ha ha ha
I do love my Rehband knees sleeves for training however.

Yea, it seems like a lot of people just deal with it from what I read. It is a pretty common problem from what I read.

i have a spud belt. it was nice when i was first getting started powerlifting and was not used to a belt. i hardly use it anymore since i broke in my lever belt. if i do it will be for overheads, stones, or anything else where i just need a little something to push against but also need a little mobility.

i do have an XL for sale as well. ordered the wrong size the first time so its unused.

Hmmm well I am gonna buy a better belt that I can use for comps too and hope breaking it in makes it not suck as hard.
